Let’s spread the word about endo! We’re excited to announce our endometriosis awareness campaign to squash the silence when it comes to this disease. To participate, film and share a short video answering the prompt, "Tell me you have endometriosis without telling me you have endometriosis,” then share to your social media platforms and challenge a friend-o (friend with endo) to post their own video! The goal of the challenge is to get people talking across social media platforms about some of the signs and symptoms of endo, not only spreading awareness but helping to shed the stigma associated with talking about the disease. The challenge will run March 15–31. See you on social!

There’s only one week until the 2021 Global Patient Conference: The Path Toward a Cure! Registration is free and the virtual conference (March 19-21) aims to connect patients with science. The conference will include presentations on adolescent endometriosis (Trust These Teens: The Importance of Early Detection), a live Q&A with endo experts from across the world, including Dr. Shan Biscette, Dr. Anil Sharma, Dr. Mike Armour, Dr. Simone Ferrero, and Dr. Sarah Choi, and so much more. Check out the full schedule online!

When you have to explain your symptoms to your doctor repeatedly or cancel events because you’re having a bad pain day, it can feel like endometriosis is taking over who you are and changing your perception of yourself. Alice Broster spoke with author Jessica Murnane and counselor and sex therapist Peter Saddington on why mental health support is critical while managing endometriosis and the tools you can use to empower yourself.

This week's EndoTV guest Jessica Murnane, author of Know Your Endo, reminds us to “celebrate your wins with endometriosis.” Know Your Endo is an essential guide on how to navigate your life with endometriosis and is available for pre-order!
